Leah and Freddy are joined by sexpert Alix Fox to answer listeners’ sex and relationships questions. Their discussion spans novice polyamory, asexuality, ‘real lesbians’ and jelly butt plugs
It’s Freddy McConnell’s turn to be ignorant this week as Leah Green and guest Grace Shutti lament the ups and downs of being born with Afro hair. Topics include supporting your local auntie and the problem of getting your hair touched by Europeans. Also, can we talk about white people and braids?

So, listen as Freddy McConnell (trans) and guest CJ (non binary), test Leah Green (cis) on her gender ID smarts. Plus, we chat about awkward pronoun confusion, social constructs and the London underground
Leah and Freddy talk about more things vulva related with Guardian US data editor Mona Chalabi, who also produced and presented The Vagina Dispatches.

Leah and Freddy are joined by Guardian US data editor Mona Chalabi to talk about all things vulva related, for a festive, slightly-tipsy, end-of-year double bill. Mona produced and presented the online video series The Vagina Dispatches, and she joins our hosts to delve deeper into everything she learned. Plus there’s free-wheeling chat about the perils of sex-ed, the joys of orgasm and the challenge of labelling body parts
